Zoo visitors shocked as bears eat monkey

Welcome to the world of nature, folks! "Red in tooth and claw" isn't just a fancy saying, it's a reality. A friend of mine who's a zookeeper has told me tales of folks complaining when they say the keepers feeding eagle meat and fish: "How horrible", they cried, "The poor thing should be getting a healthy diet of bird seed!"

There are a lot of limits built into the natural order, but one thing that seems utterly limitless is the capacity of humanity for sheer stupidity.

Bears killed and devoured a monkey in front of horrified visitors at a Dutch zoo, officials and witnesses said.
